Railing "Saddle Planter" for Porch, Deck, Balcony

We recommend one 20-quart bag of our premium Potting Mix; each of these planters holds 16 quarts

Dress up your deck and add color to your front porch with these convenient self-mounting planters. Thanks to a patented saddle groove, they slip right over deck railings without tools or fasteners, and they won't blow away or fall off. Choice of designer colors.

Our porch is in the shade and I wanted to have something hanging over the railing to dress up that area without planting directly in the dirt since we have our yard mowed by someone else and I feared they would get mowed over. It was very easy to plant my flowers and plants inside the container. Our railing is 3 1/2" and the planter was 4" wide so it doesn't fit tightly but so far it is working. I wish they would come up something in addition to make it a little snugger or some sort of support but I love it anyways
